Hey, just by reading some of the comments made towards you you're probably one of the most hated posters in this section, how does that feel loser?

Why don't you see how many ignore lists you can make today.
Peter has had more people put him on ignore, yet everyone responds to his post still???

I'm betting you were picked on in the schoolyard at the all girls prep school that you attended.
Yeah, but give him some credit, that's where he learned how to fight back..................

Oh wow, give it all you got, beats discussing the car anyway. I was gonna recommend to you to order the preparation H dispenser option in addition to the extra padded bottom cushion in your seat selection but I refuse to stoop to your level

A 640hp, 120k car vs a 450ish hp 55k car of the same model, just different generation. Real fair comparison there.

or it's just a way to push sales.

Dude, you'd couldn't begin to fathom the level at which I could stoop to so you should probably quit while you're not ahead.

Speaking of Preparation H isn't time to smear it on your bf's backside, time to get your latex gloves on, he's probably calling for you right now......enjoy.

That would entail me looking at her profile, something I don't have the time for or inclination to do.

I support the right for you to have a negative opinion of the C7. My opinion, on the other hand having seen the car, respectfully disagree ...

Saw it in person rear looks worse than in pics as it does not match the otherwise outstanding design. It's a different experience walking around the C7 from front to rear my reaction:


- "wow front is better looking than the pics"
- "Side looks good too - the Side vent that looked very GTR in 2D pics actually looks nice in person - No B Pillar looks great same with hatch"
- "rear - oh crap this just doesn't work like the rest of the car - not ugly but not as good as the rest"

This s true for most. There are a few guys who have seen it and still don't like it but, like you said, most reports you read here are very favourable after seeing it.

Wow, 43 pages,,
Well I'm not worried about the C6 being obsolete.

I mean, modern education has made ignorance and stupidity obsolete yet this thread proves they are both still quite popular.
